How To Build CND in the NetBeans trunk

This page describes how to build NetBeans with C/C++ pack from repository sources. Some parts are copied from general NetBeans pages HgHowTos and WorkingWithNetBeansSources. If you need more details on using Mercurial or NetBeans build system, refer to those pages.

Tools

You need the following to be installed on your machine

JDK 6 for NetBeans 6.9 or newer, JDK 5 for NetBeans 6.8 or older (it must be 1.5.0 because NetBeans must be runnable on this version of JDK or newer, by using 1.5.0 you will ensure that you don't use APIs and features available only in JDK 6 or newer)

Automated Builds

Build failures are sent to broken_builds@netbeans.org. Committers have to subscribe to this mailing lists (send a message to broken_builds-subscribe@netbeans.org) and monitor the traffic there.
There is also a NetBeans plugin called build monitor which periodically reads the RSS feed from hudson and displays red/green light on the IDE status line.
